The Institute of Mathematics and its Applications will run its first IMA Conference on Mathematics in Music at the Royal College of Music in London, July 13 - July 15, 2022.
The conference, which has received the support and the sponsorship from the Royal Musical Association, focusses onto the exploration of the connections between mathematics and music, in particular current developments of music theory, music performance, music perception and music technology based on or inspired by mathematical applications and concepts, including (but not limited to) category theory, group theory, topology, differential geometry, combinatorics, analysis, acoustic theory, as well as artificial intelligence, deep learning, language processing and coding.
The event will feature a plenary session with contributed talks, a poster session, a general-audience lecture and four invited plenary lectures from world renowned researchers in the field:
Prof Emily Howard, Royal Northern College of Music
Prof Guerino Mazzola, University of Minnesota
Prof Geraint Wiggins, Vrije Universiteit Brussel & Queen Mary University of London
Prof Moreno Andreatta, CNRS Director of Research at IRMA, University of Strasburg
